Visualisation and Direct Manipulation: Issues for Human Systems Development

Resumo

The paper discusses the role that Visualisation and Information Visualisation may have in the development of the next generation of user interfaces. An oriented review of issues involved in the creation of systems that take advantage of emergent computer 3D facilities and Virtual Reality systems are presented. The author defends the perspective that visualisation can promote the opportunity to foster user interaction and computer mediated human. The paper ends up with a proposal of four main problems to be researched in order to develop better human systems.
